HENCEFORTH....no mention of home field advantage ever again in MLB!

It is meaningless.

I wouldn't say HFA doesn't matter. I'd say it's very significant over a full season, but it matters less in a 4-7 game series.

Pretty sure they said this was this first time in American major sports history that the road team won every game of a 7 game championship series

That is correct.

Nats were destined to win. Started what 18-31

This, but also, this year was an anomaly, not the norm.

yeah, if HFA wasn't important then it wouldn't have taken this long for it to happen.

Classic Recency Bias.

I do think in modern sports it means less than ever before... But to say it is meaningless is just flat out wrong....
